The Darlings #2
Jane & Jasper
Jane Darling wants to provide a future to her small daughter Londyn, so she started a matchmaking business. After three months it’s not doing well, and Jasper offers help. He’s the NYC Pythons quarterback, and has always been attracted to Jane. Jane was always prickly with him, and he loves to push her buttons to make her mad at him. He was playful, she was snarky.
Both Jane and Jasper had mommy issues, since both were abandoned by their moms. Furthermore, Jane was abandoned by her boyfriend when she announced she was pregnant and as a result she had to raise Londyn alone. She had reason to be prickly but she treated Jasper as if he was the enemy when he was not.
I loved Jasper, thought he was genuine. He knew himself and accepted all his flaws and assets. He wasn’t humble but he wasn’t a show off. I thought he was wonderful to Jane and Londyn and she didn’t appreciate him as she should or as soon as she should. She was stubbornly holding off and making me mad.
Usually this author’s books are magic but this one fell a tad short. I didn’t like Jane all that much, but did love Jasper, his twin nieces, and little Londyn. Jane’s choice of a career also fell flat, because if you want to provide a future for your little daughter, venturing into such an iffy business was not very wise.
Entertaining, very funny in parts, but not overwhelmingly wonderful as some of this author’s previous books have been.
